Romans 1:16 states, "For
I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of
God unto salvation to every one that believeth: to the Jew first,
and also to the Greek."

We are living in a day when
many Churches have gotten away from the gospel of Christ. Many Churches
have become giant social clubs that cater to the social need of man and
leave out the GOSPEL which is the power of God unto salvation.

How an a Church have hundreds
in attendance and never or rarely have people saved? The answer is they
attract folks with other plans or activities, leaving out the Gospel, which
isthe power of God unto salvation. 1 Cor.
1:18 states, "For the preaching of the cross is to them that
perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved, it is the power
of God."

A preacher that doesn't preach
the Gospel doesn't have the power of God, and is building "wood, hay,
stubble" which will one day be revealed by fire according to 1 Cor.
3:9-15.

I list here at least six things
the Gospel has the power to do:

It has the power to find
us. (Luke 19:19, John 1:11, Rom. 10:9-21)

It has the power to free
us. (1 Cor. 4:15, Acts 26:18, Col. 1:13)

It has the power to fill
us. (Eph. 1:13, Eph. 3:14-21)

It has the power to forgive
us. (Gal 1:8-9, Col. 1:20-22)

It has the power to form
us. (2 Cor. 5:17, Rom. 12:1-2, Phil. 1:27-30)

It has the power to fuel
us. (Acts 1:8, 2 Tim. 1:7-8)

The Gospel is described in 1
Cor 15:1-4. It is the message of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus
Christ for the sin of the world. If we gave man everything he needs physically,
emotionally, socially and financially and did not give him the Gospel, we
fail to use the power of God to bring him to salvation. Shame on us! Shame
of preachers who build big Churches without the Gospel! Please
see again 1 Corinthians 1:18. Have you believed the Gospel,
or have you simply become a member of a social club? You
will never go to heaven until you believe and respond to the Gospel! THERE
IS NO OTHER WAY!
